Suggestions for a Mauser .318 J barrel (repurpose)

Looking for a bpcr or other lower pressure single shot rolling block capable application for a .318 Mauser J barrel, new, minty.

A paper patch application is ok. I can see a 314 or 313 patched up working but I need a cartridge base to work from. I checked Steves pages obsoletes and didn't find a good US match.
Need someone who has "thunk" out of the box.

Brass fabrication is OK! Rimmed better than other options, from current production brass like a 30-30 would be nice. I'll figure out dies later, I'll bastardize old dies as needed to create initial form dies

Anything stand out for anyone?

Thank in advance.

Leave it as is and fit it to a 7mm Mauser rolling block action?

Otherwise, 8.15x46R

Marlene, I have an esoteric Mauser target rifle, anshutz, in 8.15, have dies but not attempted to chamber cast, form brass, etc.

I had not considered the euro obsolete list. That would be ideal and the twist should be complaint with a 200 gr cast bullet.

That is an excellent idea and......... I can form from 30-30, win win!

Thank you!

Stop-ring bullets are incredibly cool in my opinion.

I have enough 7x57R brass to share, if that helps your thinking.
